The Egg Whisperer Show

It was such a treat to have Dr. Jenna Hua of Million Marker join me on the Egg Whisperer Show podcast yesterday. And, I'm delighted to have her back to talk more about the environment and fertility. Ever wonder about your chemical exposures? I certainly do. How to improve egg quality, sperm quality and pregnancy outcomes are always on my mind. The environment can play a role, and the test that is now available through Million Marker can help determine if chemicals or the environment are impacting your body and your fertility. We now have a way to test our exposure levels and also do something about it! In this episode we talk about: hand sanitizer, THC, essential oils, plastics, forever chemicals, hair care products, makeup, toothpaste, toothbrushes, pots and pans and more. I'm beyond excited to finally have a test that can help my patients. This is important for your health for generations to come. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

One of the most common questions I get is, "Dr. Aimee, how can I improve egg, sperm and embryo quality?" We know that age, genetics and environment influence egg, sperm, and embryo quality. I've been searching for a diagnostic tool that monitors environmental exposures for my patients, and I'm so excited to have found that one exists.⁠ ⁠Dr. Jenna Hua of Million Marker joins me to talk all about the impacts of the environment on fertility.

On today's Egg Whisperer Show podcast episode, I'm sharing the four things you need to know about PCOS. Too many doctors tell patients that they don't need to worry about managing their PCOS until they are starting a pregnancy (not fertility docs!) This just isn't true. There are tried and true steps that you can take now to bring HOPE back to your health and your fertility. I want to start a PCOS revolution, and to start that, I've started calling it HOPE syndrome instead. H: High Testosterone (or signs and symptoms of high androgens) O: Ovaries with many follicles (typically over 12 per ovary) P: Periods that are irregular E: Exercise and Eating healthy habits are important to have Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

PGT-A is a hot topic in fertility medicine and I'm so happy that Dr. Eric Forman joined me to talk to us about a recent Chinese study published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Takeaways: - this study is getting a lot of attention because of the prestigious journal it's published in - the study design isn't how we do things in the real world: we don't just biopsy three embryos - the average age was 29 of the patients and mean egg number 20 and we know from previous studies that PGT-A as a selection tool may help women over age 37 more than younger women - the cumulative live birth rate was higher in the PGT arm - the study provided reassurances about PGT-A: the biopsy is safe, the group who did it had a higher implantation rate, similar cumulative live birth rate with fewer transfers, and fewer miscarriages. There were more congenital abnormalities in the non-biopsy group. A big thank you to Dr. Forman for breaking this all down for us and for sharing how PGT-A can improve the live birth rate on the first transfer and make elective single embryo transfer the standard of care across ages.

Dr. Eric Forman is the medical and lab director at Columbia University Fertility Center where he oversees the medical practice as well as IVF embryology and andrology labs, while also actively seeing patients. He set the standard for eSETs (elective single embryo transfers) across the globe. And, he revolutionized how we freeze eggs, with his research proving that the rapid vitrification technology does not increase the risk of genetic abnormalities in embryos. Dr. Forman is joining me today on the Egg Whisperer Show podcast to discuss a hot topic in fertility medicine: PGT-A. We are going to discuss preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), the science behind this testing, and a recent paper, published in the New England Journal of Medicine (Live Birth with or Without Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy).

Today, Dr. Kristin Brogaard is joining me today to talk about the Path Fertility SpermQT test. I'm so excited to have her share about the test, because as you'll hear her say "lots of infertility goes undiagnosed because men go undiagnosed, and when men go undiagnosed, women go through procedures that will not work." (Who else wants to see this on a bumper sticker?) While sperm were long considered to be just carriers of DNA, it turns out they are a lot more complex than that! Understanding the sperm side of the equation can help anyone trying to conceive better understand what's going on, and help them figure out the best plan to get pregnant. A few exciting highlights from our discussion: Male and sperm epigenetics play a big role in getting pregnant, and having a successful live birth. The SpermQT test can tell someone if their sperm is excellent, average, or poor quality. - Knowing this information can help you and your doctor determine the most efficient and appropriate next steps in your treatment or protocols. Understanding the quality of the sperm can lead to better outcomes. If it is "excellent," there is an increased likelihood of IUI working, even in cases where doctors thought sperm might be the issue with getting pregnant. If sperm quality is "poor," you may want to try making lifestyle changes to improve sperm quality, and retest. - Poor sperm quality often correlates with other longer term health issues for men, as sperm acts as a "canary in the coal mine." (an early warning system) Dr. Kristin Brogaard has a PhD from Northwestern University where she developed a novel epigenetic technology that allowed for a more accurate understanding of gene expression in health and disease cells. She is now the chief scientific officer of Path Fertility, whose goal is to raise the standard in male reproductive health, starting with male infertility. Thank you for joining us, Kristin!

Today on the podcast, I'm talking all about how you can create your own personalized IVF Plan. Have you ever used Google Maps and been redirected midway via a better route? Alternatively, maybe you're proactive in managing traffic and go directly to Waze to get you from point A to point B in the most time effective way? These apps are well-loved and widely used because they remove obstacles out of an otherwise potentially painful process, and they do so with data. I bring the beauty of Google Maps into my fertility care by serving as a personal navigator for every one of my patient's IVF care and talked about it here. We tell these apps where we want to go, they determine our starting point and formulate a plan. It's not a one-size fits-all-route; it is customized and updated in real-time to avoid the proverbial bumps along the way. I would get lost daily without this personalized navigation.

Stress and pregnancy go hand in hand. Heck, stress and living life go hand in hand! While some stress is healthy, and actually a helpful motivator to us, too much can send us into a mental (and sometimes physical) tailspin. Dr. Coleman Allen joins me on today's podcast episode Before I get into my top 10 list of things you need to know from the show, I wanted to touch on one of my favorite parts of our discussion. I particularly liked her perspective on something I hear from patients time and again. "I want to get pregnant naturally". Dr. Allen's response was more perfect than any I've heard, and one I hope will bring you peace of mind should this be something you desire, too: "It still takes all of the natural miracles to become pregnant. With fertility treatment, and all it entails you're simply facilitating a natural process to happen. Nobody can force an egg to fertilize or make an embryo grow and divide. Only nature can make an embryo attach." Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

In early 2019, Gina, Jen, and Maya came together as mamas on a mission to transform the landscape of embryo donation. Each of them had a different fertility journey that had a connection to embryo donation, and wanted to make embryo donation better understood, more inclusive, and more accessible. And, they wanted to bridge the gap between reproductive medicine and child well being. I'm so excited to have them on the show. In this episode (which is Part 1 of 2), we're covering donating embryos. Gina and Jen will be talking about options for people who want to donate their embryos, including the psychological considerations, and what patients should know before donating embryos to another family.

PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome. Many people interpret it to mean you have big cysts on your ovaries, but that's not true at all. When I hear PCOS I think of it as a call to, &ldquoPlease Confirm this Ovary Syndrome". So much is misunderstood about PCOS! Women are often told, "oh you don't need to worry about it until you're ready to have babies." That could not be further from the truth.

As a PCOS Wellness Consultant, Dr. Cutler focuses her work on nutrition , lifestyle changes, and meditation. She encourages patients to add more stress management to their routine, to get exercise, and to get away from the diet culture mentality that so many people with PCOS have been conditioned into. I hope you'll learn as much as I did from Dr. Dylan. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

When seeing patients, I always recommend people to gather their Fertility TEAM, and the T is for therapist. I'm so excited to have Dr. Loree Johnson share her valuable info with all of you today. In this conversation, we're going to be talking about some of the mental health impacts of being a fertility patient. I'll be asking Dr. Johnson about the difference between Infertility Stress and Infertility Trauma, we're going to talk about grief as it relates to fertility (and how it's different than other grief), and she'll share how to navigate the stress of being pregnant after having loss. Dr. Loree Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with more than 25 years of experience as a clinician, educator, and clinical supervisor. After her first-hand experience with fertility challenges taught her the importance of self-care for managing the physical and emotional stress that come with the fertility process, coupled with the lack of representation she saw of therapists of color in the fertility space, Dr. Loree found her purpose supporting individuals and couples on their path to parenthood. She and her husband welcomed their rainbow baby in 2021 after 8 years of trying to conceive, three losses, and one TFMR. Tune in on Dr. Aimee's Website. Visit Dr. Loree Johnson's website.

PCOS is one of the most common and most misunderstood conditions that we treat as reproductive endocrinologists, and this week I'm delighted to be joined on the podcast by Dr. Lucky Sekhon of RMA of New York to talk all about it. PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome, and that name can lead to some confusion. A lot of people think that they probably have cysts in their ovaries. The truth is that all women have multiple cysts (which are really small follicles that house eggs) in their ovaries. Those with PCOS have follicles that look like what we call a "string of pearls" on the periphery of their ovaries, and often have irregular (or no) cycles.

When you're pregnant after IVF, you're likely beaming with joy while at the same time trying to keep negative, worrisome thoughts in check. Am I right? If you're like so many of the fertility patients I see, then you may be hyper-aware of your body, emotions and sensitive to the what-ifs of pregnancy after fertility treatment. Now you're pregnant, and yes, you may have dreamed of this moment for quite some time. But it's okay not to love every second of being pregnant. You are not alone! And you do not have to manage these feelings by yourself or with the help of Google (In fact, please make a pact with me right now that you'll do your best to avoid Google). Save yourself the heartache and talk to me, your OBGYN or tune into today's podcast episode where I'm sharing all about what to expect, and how to navigate the first few months of being pregnant after IVF.

I'm talking about everything you need to know about being an egg donor. If you are a young woman who is considering donating your eggs, first, I want to say thank you for considering embarking on this altruistic journey. Your gift will change the lives of a family for generations. Your gift is truly the gift of life. I also want you to be well informed about how the process works. I want you to think about having eggs frozen for you at the same time. I hope you'll watch, or, share this episode with someone who may be considering donating their eggs and consider my freeze and share program. ⠀ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

Today, I'm so honored to have Kristin McQuaid joining me to talk about a very touching and powerful topic: support for surrogate mothers and intended parents through infant loss. Kristin and her husband, Steve, started a non-profit organization in honor of their daughter, London Quinn, who was born still at 39 weeks in July, 2021. They named the organization "London is the Reason," and the non-profit focuses on supporting surrogates and their intended parents through infant loss. I feel quite privileged to have Kristin share her story, and the story of her daughter London with us. I know you will be moved by what she shares. We will be talking about her diagnosis of stage four endometriosis, how she learned about surrogacy, and how she, her husband and their gestational carrier navigated through the loss of London last year. She will also share additional resources for anyone experiencing loss as a surrogate and intended parent. And, you can learn more about "London is the Reason," and how to get involved. You may know Kristin McQuaid is a choreographer, dancer, designer, creative director, director, and producer. Her work has gone viral on "You Think You Can Dance," and "Dance Moms." She now stars in her own reality show, "Kickin' it with Kristin," which launched on YouTube in Fall of 2021. Thank you for joining me, Kristin!

I'm excited to have him on the show today to talk about how to become an advocate for yourself, and how to make sure that your care is your doctor's priority.⁠ ⁠ Dr. Victory and I are both very like-minded in the way that we approach patient care: we want you to be an active part of your care and we want you to be a part of our decision making when it comes to deciding on a treatment plan.

Today on The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm really excited to be joined by Dr. Ellen Vora. I feel we are very much alike. She's passionate about easing the real suffering that people experience from anxiety and mental health issues. I can't wait to have her come on and share some new insights about anxiety (it turns out it's not just a "neck up" problem), the difference between "false" anxiety and true anxiety, and how to handle the anxiety that often comes up as a fertility patient. We'll also be talking more about her book, which came out this year, titled "The Anatomy of Anxiety." Dr. Ellen Vora is a holistic psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and yoga teacher. She takes a functional medicine approach to mental health—considering the whole person and addressing imbalance at the root.

Struggling with fertility is not easy. It's important to stay positive. For example, I like to think of you being IN-fertile. As in you're "in" the club vs. infertile meaning you're "not" fertile.

That's what I want to talk to you today. 💙Do your best best to find a positive mental attitude.💙Be proactive about your preconception tests. You can find a full list of the ones to consider on my website.💙Understand egg count, egg health, egg aging, and what you can do about it. 💙Get your TUSHY checked. 💙Understand the role of sperm and sperm health in embryo creation. 💙Once you have a embryos, consider additional tests before embryo transfer.

I get asked questions about IVF daily, from my patients and from those seeking treatment elsewhere in the United States and beyond. While the steps involved in IVF are generally the same, the factors to consider and the patient's needs are all unique.

People seem to always be full of advice about fertility, and while most of it comes from a place of wanting to be helpful, not all of it is well informed or welcome. When you are trying to conceive, the last thing you want to hear is that you need to "relax." Or "go on a vacation, drink some wine, and let nature run its course." Am I right? In this episode, I'm sharing the types of treatments that fertility doctors offer to patients, including information about fertility pills, fertility shots, IUI, and IVF. I'm also outlining some of the natural things you can do to improve your chances of conceiving, like salt floats, hypnotherapy, and self care.

I'm so excited to have Dr. Bruce Lessey of ReceptivaDX join me on the podcast. Dr. Lessey has dedicated his research life to studying the lining of the uterus and more specifically, how to help embryos stick better. His research led to the discovery of the role of BCL-6 in the lining of the uterus as a diagnostic test patients can have done by their doctors to guide them toward the best protocol for transfer success. The test isn't for women just going through IVF either. This test can also be done to help women get an endometriosis diagnosis without going through a laparoscopy surgery. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ In addition to being a Fertility Doctor at The Fertility Center of the Carolinas, in Greenville SC, Dr. Lessey is also the scientific advisor for Cicero DX. His work on identifying BLC6 became the key component of the Receptivadx test. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ I'm delighted to have him on the show! Many IVF patients have benefited greatly from the Receptivadx test, and I'm looking forward to asking him a lot of questions about his work. ⁠ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

As a fertility doctor, I help my patients create the family they want, or preserve their fertility for whatever the future may hold. Part of why I love what I do is that I get to understand the whole person that I treat. Not just their body, but their emotional well-being too. We can't look at humans with tunnel vision. Nor can we look at fertility that way either. The act of going through fertility treatment is as emotional as it is physical. Today on the podcast, I'm sharing the ten things to STOP doing if you're a fertility patient.

Dr. Deborah Simmons provides specialized counseling for infertility-related trauma and pregnancy loss. She works with clinics around the country. She is passionate about helping fertility patients (she calls them "pre-parents") as they work through the journey of becoming a parent, whether that be through IUI, IVF, donor eggs, donor sperm, donor embryos, or surrogacy. She shares so many great insights about how to handle the mental-wellness side of things when you're going through fertility treatment. Here are few key items she shares: For yourself: Find compassion for yourself throughout treatment If partnered: Looking to your partner and acknowledging their feelings about the journey With friends: Let them know what you need while also honoring what you need With Co-workers: Let them know you're having "medical problems" and don't feel you have to share everything.
